Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy shifts towards renewable energy investment which could accelerate the decline in fossil energy imports.
Volatility in global fossil fuel markets potentially impacting import volumes.
Technological advancements in energy efficiency that may further reduce dependence on fossil energy.
